Obsessive-compulsive con artist Nicolas Cage and partner Sam Rockwell each make a good living with slick scams in the Los Angeles area. But when, under his psychiatrist's advice, Cage contacts the 14-year-old daughter (Alison Lohman) he never knew, the precocious teen tries to get to know her quirk-filled dad and take part in his latest scheme, a money-laundering swindle. Returning to the breezy comic style that worked so well in Thelma and Louise, director Ridley Scott smoothly adapts Eric Garcia's novel with a Sinatra-laced soundtrack that nicely complements Cage's eccentric character, in this 2003 film.
